I'm planning to buy a new PC and I've put together a build that I want to get your thoughts on. Here's the link to my build: [Part List](https://pcpartpicker.com/list/qr46C8). I'd love any suggestions for part changes, especially considering I want something that's easy to assemble.
I'm not sure about my motherboard choice and would like to know if it's a good one or if there's a faster RAM option out there (with RGB, if possible). I'm also torn between the Samsung 990 Pro 2TB and the Hynix Platinum P41 2TB SSD.
I actually like that my power supply is a bit overkill, and it's meant to support future upgrades. Aesthetically, I want to keep the AIO cooler as well. What do you think about the overall build?

I think you've got some solid choices here! Just a heads up, you might want to consider swapping out a few components to get better value without sacrificing performance. Also, don't forget to grab some additional case fans since the case you selected doesn’t come with any. As for the PSU, 850W is definitely more than enough unless you're planning to upgrade to something like a 9950X3D plus a 5090 later on. Overall, looks good but double-check those fan options!
Your build looks alright, but if you're considering future upgrades, having a more powerful PSU makes sense. But yeah, the 850W should suffice for now. Definitely check out the RAM options and consider getting something faster with RGB for that extra flair! Also, good call on the SSDs; both are solid choices!
I appreciate the feedback! I want to make sure I get the best looking as well as performance-wise. Any specific RAM brands you think are the best?
Thanks for the tip about the case fans! I'll make sure to include them in my final list. Are there specific brands or models you'd recommend?
